Here goes random again...

Woke up the other morning to this on the counter...actually woke up to it many mornings in a row.

We've been having many sleepless nights, filled with stuffy noses and coughing and coughing and more coughing (for the kiddos). 

After almost 2 weeks of this I'm feeling like a postpartum mommy again. But here is to better days/nights ahead.. 

AND what a great reminder to be thankful for the good health we do have.....

 I live in a humble, small abode... and lets face it.. to often there is clutter everywhere.

 I have this little corner in my room were i tried to create a little "escape place".

It's a spot that i try to keep clean at all times so i can sit down somewhere for a breathe of fresh air...

The sun shines in the window so beautifully.

And this is where i like to sit to journal,drink coffee, have devotions, etc. 

It has also been used to escape. 

Yup. 

When hubby was home and able watch after the kiddos one day.. i actually locked myself in my room and sat here to eat my lunch (in peace).

What do you need to create one?

Apparently not much, as you can see.

If you don't have a little get away spot, i feel sorry for you and i think you should find a place (in your home) for one.

Little brother eats big brother's homework.

These things do happen in real life.

 Pizza night at our house. 

Perfect idea for the picky, picky eaters. 

Let them create their own pizza! 

Then there is no complaining, cuz they made it themselves.

My little sister's birthday is today. And i wish i could be there to celebrate with her! She is the most awesome little sister.. and a wonderful Aunt.....

I got our Christmas pictures taken the other week.. and then this week got the Christmas Cards made and ordered! A good feeling indeed... Now to have them arrive and hopefully be OK and then to address them. I'm kinda dreading the whole addressing envelopes this year,,, mainly because the daughter or son of the household got a hold of my address book tablet and there are many missing pages...

Here is a sneak peak of us..

I hope you a have a wonderful weekend!!!
